The grass is greener on the other side.
Unshakeable Faith (I know in whom I have believed)
Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop
Casting my cares to lord like Patrick Mahhomes’ throws a Football!
Psalms 121
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord,
which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel
shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper:
the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:
he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Psalms 91
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress:
my God; in him will I trust.
Surely, he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers,
and under his wings shalt thou trust:
his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;
nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;
nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side,
and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold
and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge,
even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee,
neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee,
to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands,
lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him, and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him,
and shew him my salvation.
Ephesians 6:13 AMP
Therefore, put on the complete armor of God, so that you will be able to [successfully] resist and stand your ground in the evil day [of danger], and having done everything [that the crisis demands], to stand firm [in your place, fully prepared, immovable, victorious].
Fear vs Faith
Have Faith!
Harriet Tubman movie clip; https://youtu.be/MuOkbVOU3gU

Relationships Matter Part 2
It is of extreme importance that we are connected to people; not just anybody but the right people.
Good News:
Corinthians 15:33
Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.
2 Kings 2:2
And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So, they went down to Bethel.
Job 2:11
When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him.
Proverbs 18:1
A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgment.
Relationships Matter
In this episode Patti discusses the value of good relationships, out growing people, and making new friends. She expresses the importance of who surrounds you and the seriousness of words declared in your life.
"In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
"And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.
Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.
So, then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.
Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Let David now stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight."
Many will seek the favor of a generous man, and every man is a friend to him who gives gifts.

Progress vs Perfection
True Perfection is achieved and revealed by the spirit of God who is also the Spirit of Truth.
Philippians 3:12-14
'Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.’
Psalms 138:8 KJV
The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord , endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Mark 4:30-32
'Then He said, “To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.”'
Psalms 92:12
'The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. '

1. Turn off your phone notifications or put your phone on do not disturb during the times that you really need to focus.
2. If you’re working from home turn off the television.
3. (Prioritize) Focus on the most important items first.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress:
my God; in him will I trust.
Surely, he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers,
and under his wings shalt thou trust:
his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;
nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;
nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side,
and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold
and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge,
even the most-High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee,
neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee,
to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands,
lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

Launch!
Be Kind!
Proverbs 21:21
Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness
will find life, righteousness, and honor.
Kindness- the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.
Righteousness - the quality of being morally right or justifiable.
Honor- high respect; great esteem
Be kind to others, don’t be so consumed with your inner thoughts that it prevents you from connecting or acknowledging the people around you. Life is so beautiful!
Change
If you see it, you can achieve it!
There’s a partnership between vision and faith, you can have a vision but it requires faith to move on it, and Faith without works is dead.
1. Vision
2. Faith
3. Work
